'm curious, eleanor, it's the people around the president that have failed him perhaps. christina romer, one of the top economic advises stepping down, two months until lelection day. do you think it's president's inner circle failed him? why weren't there other solutions out there months ago? >> i think a president has limited tools in a market-based economy to create jobs and he has put forward some legislative plans, i think they were not big enough and bold enough to match the scale of the crisis and new proposals coming up, many of them designed to win republican votes when it looks as though the republicans may not go along even with proposals they favor because they don't want to muddy the picture of a president who has failed to turn around the economy at a time when they have a chance to perhaps win back control on criminal. what the president can do, though, is he can put forth a clearer economic vision and he can spur american creativity and innovation. i just got back from china, beijing, shanghai, and there are no global warming deniers over and and they are going gang busters o

the economy. christina romer, the president's top economic adviser leaving the white house, suggested there should be additional stimulus as she was leaving. tax breaks but additional infrastructure spending. does the president think in retrospect that he did too little to jump-start the economy? >> i don't think so. and listen. you mentioned at the top of your show, the president will unveil more proposals this week to help the economy and i think they'll look at everything they can because this is a crisis out there for the american people. no. listen. it's very clear. economists who looked at this said this recovery act added over 3 million jobs. 22 straight months of private sector job loss. eight straight months of private sector job creation. recovery played a big role. we would have been unemployment rate probably in the high teens. some economists say over 20%. by the way, the recovery act that republicans are attacking, if they had their way, we wouldn't have done anything like that. we probably would have unemployment rate if the republican ideas and policies had been in pla

announcement, replacing christina romer. >> that is not the news of the day but it's all over the place. perhaps a question or two about the pastor, about the issue of islam-ophobia and taken hold and we have the midterm elections, debate of tax cuts and the economy. so, there's a lot that the president has to deal with. i think what will be fascinating to see is does he use this as a moment to sort of try to not just sum up the presidency but sell it as a presidency of change at a time when voters really want a lot of change and not happy with what's going on here? >> another opportunity to try to break through with the economic argument but as usual events can conspire against them. the news conferences tend to be a grab bag and a lot of issues, not least of which is a potential shake-up inside the white house, whether or not rahm emanuel will run for chicago mayor. >> it does seem as if the president did give some space, one thing he did accomplish this week, probably hasn't moved the ball forward on the economy, struggling to get the arms around the pastor story and might have given

of christina romer who left this last week. do you credit his advisers with that or his advisers could have done better? >> in the book i'm actually pretty tough on some of the economic advice he got and having too narrow a circle of folks. i think he should have been tougher on the banks early on and not just done some things to restructure the banking sector but to push them to give more credit to small business. >> he did not do that because of the advisers if. >> well no. he's not just a prisoner of his advisers. he made a decision based partly on their advice that banks were too brittle to be that tough on them, that if we had been and the whole banking system had collapsed, as it was in danger of doing, we would have had a depression. what you have here is a certain amount of amnesia on the part of some folks in not, you know, not looking at the fuller picture of where our economy has been. if you have close to 10% unemployment, whoever is in office is going to pay the price. you know who else was at 41%? ronald reagan, 1982/ '83. they were in the midst of a deep recession and that is
